Best praise vs top criticism for Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream
“I’m white with very fine hair and 3a/b (?) curls and cantu works great on my hair. Cantu , Aussie gel , diffuse. So I wouldn’t say cantu is only for black or 4c hair in general. Just certain products don’t work with everyone’s hair”
“This might be the most moving prose I’ve ever read. Cantu never deserved you.”
